Nine Short Films

Terry and Billy are incredible players. No argument there. The talking over the songs only makes them sound evil and drugged, taking away from the playing. What a waste of a lot of hard work underneath.

PLEASE RE-RELEASE ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS ALBUM WITHOUT THE VOCALS.

Bozzio ruins every song with his speaking/ singing. Artists like Lou Reed can pull it off Terry can't. Unfortunately with his incessant horrible talking over each song, the music doesn't shine through. Please listen thoroughly before buying.

There is a guy “talking” not singing on almost all songs and the solos are monotonous, repetitive and bizarre. Please do not buy this piece o crap, this album is worthless!

Terry Bozzio - drums, vocals, lyrics, keyboards and various guitar-like synth solos, percussion and tuned percussion. Billy Sheehan - bass, baritone guitars, lead guitar solo on 'Edge Of A Circle'. Through Nine Short Films, the iridescent and irreplaceable Terry Bozzio and Billy Sheehan indeed give new hydrogenated, oxygenated, first-rated definition to the concept of drums 'n' bass. Apart, they imprint their projects with stamps and howls that could only come from such distinct virtuosic types. Together, they are a firestorm of digit titillation. Together they most definitely play and participate, within these stand-alone yet unified cinematic soundscapes. Terry Bozzio – Terry has been insanely and intellectually active in all manner of music for decades. Along with exploratory forays into world music, he is most recently known for the brilliant Bozzio Levin Stevens projects Black Light Syndrome and Situation Dangerous as well as records with The Lonely Bears. Earlier claims to fame include signature, timeless work with Frank Zappa, progressive ego clashes with supergroup UK, superhuman drum madness with The Brecker Brothers, and pioneering pop with his ex-wife Dale in Missing Persons. Billy Sheehan – Billy rose to prominence as the spider-fingered, fat strings legend in Talas, then moving quickly to David Lee Roth's wildly successful solo band in the mid '80's, then on to more success with a long run of Mr. Big albums. He's recorded three Niacin records for Magna Carta, and has an impressive list of celebrated solo and collaborative works to his credit. Both Billy and Terry have appeared on over 50 albums each.

Terry Bozzio is incredible alone, but you add the virtuosity of Bille Sheehan and you get one of the most complex albums I've heard in a long time. Absolutley incredible.

This is one of the most extraordinary and intellectually challenging album I’ve (and you) will ever hear. What do you get when two of “the best of the best” come together to play? You get ear candy, the incredible rhythms and bass lines will burn through your memory, in a good way. Billy Sheehan’s incredible virtuosity at bass playing is easily demonstrated on each track, as different as they all are. And as for Terry Bozzio, it might sound as if he has eight arms, but let me assure you, he has two. This is amazing stuff, now listen to it. - Chim Chim Mike
